Snow Bunting, Red Tails, Turkeys, Shrike and Scenery Jan 16, 17, 2010

Went to visit my mom in Innisfil. My daughter Jen and my grandsons were also there. While visiting I took a couple hours to travel around the Minesing area.
I have to say the highlight was the snow buntings hundreds of the, 30+ red tails, northern shrike, 100+ turkeys, flying pileated woodpecker (shots didn't turn out), and 4 snowie owls and some beautiful scenery.
